GIRL. New art for the main cast, AND designing a new character with Sam, AND the art for everyone in Downfall…

We gotta get you a nice long bubble bath in a clawfoot tub and a mug of your favorite hot beverage and a moment to breathe.

This makes me feel so seen, you have no idea. I will take a nap in your honor, today. Have some FRIDA sketches.

Getting big sad about FCG again on this fine Sunday night. Like my lil buddy is just gone huh?

[lizzable]

Why FCG's death feels unsatisfying to me.

TL:DR; not enough rp.

It's nobody's fault - the timing just didn't work out in CR's favour. The EXU cutaway in e92 was inspired, and I'm a huge fan of how it added depth and stakes to the story. We know from 4SD that it was planned well in advance, so even the players were aware that they'd have very little time to react to FCG's death. Again, it's nobody's fault that the party didn't initially have time to grieve in a satisfying way.

CR had their work cut out for them in e93 - close the chapter on EXU and reintroduce Dorian to the party. If you imagine there hadn't been a recent PC death, it would have been perfect - but the fandom was aching for more time to process FCG's sacrifice. It's very hard to feel the absence within the party when there's suddenly been a new addition - especially because it's Dorian/Robbie, who is a brilliant and funny and fits like a glove.

This was also the episode that confirmed that resurrection or reincarnation was off the table. A lot of the fandom has speculated that this was the case, as otherwise the sacrifice wouldn't have had the same weight. Unfortunately, this also means that Bell's Hells have nothing slowing them down - which became apparent in episode 94.

At first, it felt like we might finally get some down time for the party to just talk to one another, to reflect on their loss and to make some decisions about how to go forward and what their motivations were. Between Fearne and Orym's surprise combat and the lore dump / NPC cameos in preparation for Aeor, there has been very little interpersonal time.

Even if the episode 95 is less lore and more role play, the momentum from FCG's death has now been lost. It's been a month in real time since they died. Most of the fandom has recovered from the shock, but a lot of us still feel the sadness and really just want the catharsis of characters just talking it out. It just feels less and less likely that it's going to happen. Maybe in a week I'll need to eat this post when they have a decadent role playing episode and everyone gets to say some stuff. I'm in love with this story so I feel bad for wanting things to slow down a little.

I guess I just wanted to write this up to try and process why I'm feeling sad.

Okay but imagine if Sam's new character is FCG.

NOT Fresh Cut Grass - a DIFFERENT Aeormaton who also happens to be a Faithful Caregiver model.

Maybe they go to Aeor to investigate the tech Ludinus has been gathering and run into them there. A different person with a different personality and voice. Wearing the same face as their fallen friend.

The angst potential is so juicy. 🤔

[stardustartist]

I see this and raise you

The Bells hells Repare and restore Fresh Cut Grass in the Genesis Ward, only it restores FCG to the version of themself that was alive when Aeor crashed to the ground. So it is FCG and the same FCG to boot, but someone the group had never met all at the same time.

The angst of that would be horrible

I would like to Bring this Back

[dowawitch]

Tonights episode has me wondering

What if Bells Hells was given this reason/opportunity to go to Aeor to give them a chance to find something that will restore FCG?

I'd like it to be known that I've shown this to my art teacher and she liked it so much she printed it out and put it up on the wall

[wolf-king-art]

FCG has no idea they do this

[wolf-king-art]

my toxic trait is I liked that FRIDA was a little bit mean to FCG when they met

[wolf-king-art]

puppy love :3

[wolf-king-art]

I really want Aeor lore and to meet D, and if FCG can’t be there for it I really want them to pick up FRIDA. If I don’t get to see a robot confronting where they came from and who they used to be what is the fucking point.

I'm on a roll. Another Breaking, Mending chapter

Suit Up and Prepare for What's Next

“Not that you’re not rocking the au natural look, FCG. Love the fuzz. Don’t know if you’ve got a cat dick or no dick to be seen. But, I think it’s about time you got some clothes on,” Chetney says, tossing over his old pants and tunic and bringing the cuddle fest (with a still nude FCG) to an end. 

And getting a reprimanding hit for bringing up the obvious from Imogen. And Laudna. And Orym. Look, it’s not Chetney’s fault that full fur makes other people feel less awkward about nudity without actually changing the fact that it’s still a birthday suit.

Chet would almost say he’s surprised by the patience with which Ashton helps and teaches the aeormaton-turned-katari to wiggle into clothes that weren’t particularly tailored for their bodyshape (but hey, they’d managed digitigrade legs and a tail and fur all the times he’d wolfed out before), except that Ashton has always had a mile-wide soft spot for FCG and helping them out. 

Besides, it’s good to see their titan-blooded genasi finally settle out of that swinging state of dissociation and intense focus. Get Ashton back towards the caring grump that is his usual emotional state. 

Hell, everyone’s looking a little better in their emotional stability now that they’ve got FCG back. A little less taunt. A little less sad. A little less ready to go straight for the throat at the slightest threat to the group’s safety (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing to be ready to do, just not towards allies).

Fuck, it’s nice to cheat a sudden and violent death.

Once Ashton has Fresh Cut Grass settled into his clothes, they set him up on slightly unsteady legs and guide him through a little twirl to show the rest of Bells Hells how the borrowed duds look. Chetney has great taste in clothes, obviously. The blues of his old outfit are a nice contrast to FCG’s still fairly yellow tones. Though the pants bunch a little oddly at the reversed knees of the new katari and–

“Ashton, why the fuck did you tie the tunic up like that?” Chetney scolds, seeing the split hanging edges from the front pulled to the back and tied into a bow that folds up the hang of fabric in the back.

“Because Letters doesn’t know how to use legs, and I didn’t want them getting tripped up by this shit or getting his new tail tangled up in it,” Ashton grumpily defends. 

Which, okay, he’s got a point.

“Lay off, Chet. It’s cute!” Fearne says with a playful nudge, bustling forward to tie a decorative sky blue ribbon around FCG’s tail.

“Oh, uh, thanks, Fearne,” Fresh Cut Grass says distractedly, turned towards their tail and watching it flick about agitatedly, the streamers of the ribbon following the movement.
